Abuse is not always physical. Our study shows that 73% of surveyed women journalists face online violence because they are doing their job - reporting. This violence harms women’s right to speak and society’s right to know. on.unesco.org/3rqmRpV #JournalistsToo #16Days

“Beginning writers see language as a means to an end, the paint used to coat your house. But language is the whole game, it’s not the frosting on the cake, it’s the cake, milk, sugar, flour, wheat.” —Allan Gurganus theparisreview.org/interviews/765…

A museum where the entire collection is on display at once, organized by size and conservation requirements (not theme, value, country, or artist). Imagine how this might promote access, transparency, and decolonization! bbc.com/news/world-eur…

"The relationships between artists, collectors, curators and academics have formed the fault lines around which art history has broken over the last centuries — for the NFT world, this intersection of intellectual and financial value has the potential to matter a lot."

All month I am honoring Black Librarians who have had a singular impact, such as renowned children’s librarian, Spencer Shaw (1917-2006). It is critical to lift up Dr. Shaw’s career because 15 years after his death, Black male librarians make up less than 1% of the profession.
